Hello Dears.... * Sending Pre-Playa Love.

2008-08-21T03:24:05Z

I miss you guys.
I am back from many travels for a bit...

I won't be making it to tha Playa this year sadly (low funds, doggie baby sitting promises), but I want to see you guys shortly after your return!
If anyone is not going out there, feel free to hit me up, and we can hoop it up and pretend like we aren't missing anything ;)

Oh, and THANK YOU ILLANIO AND CLAUDIA! Montezuma Gardens in Costa Rica was amazing! I totally fell in love with the place, and Josh was so damn awesome.

Much Much Love,

HooppaiN on the playa...

2008-08-17T22:24:38Z

friday night. what do y'all think?

posted in HooppaiN Tribe - 25 replies

The hunt for WHD's continues. Post your camp locale here and await further instruction.

2008-08-14T01:34:17Z

ALERT! Weapons of Hoop Destruction are allegedly being assembled for use on the playa. This is a serious situation which requires immediate and unwavering attention. It is our duty to seek out these WHD's on the playa and shit fuck up with them!

You all know what to do. You've been trained in hoop combat and the stage has been set. Post your Playa camp locations to this thread so that we can all rendezvous in the desert.

Stand by for further instruction. This just may well be the most important mission we've ever encountered. Bigger than the How Weird Street Faire even some say.

Solar Charging on the Playa?

2008-08-03T18:22:39Z

Hey Y'all

I'm want to get a solar charger/battery for BM. My question is does anyone know what the connector type for a psihoop is? I see all these neat chargers yet I haven't a clue what to get mainly because of the psihoop. Anyone have experience with this?

ed

I'm looking at these stores at the moment:

Party & Hoop July 6th

2008-06-24T16:49:15Z

Hey Fellow Hoopers,
My good friend Catherine is hosting an outdoor potluck party and dance at McNear’s Beach July 6th and she’s invited me to invite my hoop peeps to join the fun. I haven’t heard the band before but should be fun to hoop to some live drum jamm’n for a change of pace. Hope to see you there. Details below. –s--

Catherine and Joan invite you to a dance-food-sun-fun afternoon!
Sunday
July 6th
2pm – dusk
McNear’s Beach in San Rafael
Please note: no dogs allowed

Bring food to share, sunblock, friends, family, and instruments you might want to play (including your dancing bodies!) Catherine and Joan will have ice to cool your drinks down, plates, napkins, cups, etc., and the band!

TANDAMANZI will play the afternoon away. Tandamanzi Rhythm Ensemble is an uplifting fusion of djembes, djun djuns, congas, didgeridoo, balaphone, percussion, and boisterous fun! Their infectiously energetic blend of African rhythms and funky dance grooves compels audiences to get up and move.

From Highway 101:
• take the Central San Rafael exit and go EAST on Second Street (which becomes San Pedro Road ) to Cantera Way .
• Note: there is a fee for parking ($8/car) and a separate fee for the pool. We suggest that you carpool or meet outside the park entrance since the parking fee is per car, not per person. If you want to swim, bring your suits and pay at the entrance.
Caution: Lot’s of kids in the pool.

Farewell to HooppaiN @ the House of Hoop Pain

2008-06-24T00:08:57Z

Hiya HooppaiNers!

It's been a kick-ass year of HooppaiN! I am so happy to have been able to host so many of these events at my pad, The House of Hoop Pain. However, the time has come for me to move out. I'll be leaving this pad by the end of the month of June. Still in the city I shall dwell but not in a space large enough to carry on the tradition.

I will miss the bi-monthly mayhem and all of you! Of course, we'll still be hooping together at various events and such so I'm not too bummed.

I can use your help. Normally, I wouldn't ask such a thing, but if you've participated in HooppaiN, you know the toll it can take on a space. The ceiling is totally covered in wonderful scars, as are the walls and appliances. Us hoopers can appreciate the "damage" but for some reason, my landlord doesn't. If you can help, please come to the next and final HooppaiN on Wednesday, June 11th at 7pm. You can hoop in an empty living room for an hour and then we'll all attack, painting the ceiling, touching up the walls, and cleaning hoop marks off the appliances. If we all pitch in, I figure we can knock it out in short order. Then, it's a party on the roof! That's right. A roof party! I've got a small grill so we can cook dogs and stuff. Feel free to hoop on the roof or just kick it.

I hope you all can make it. Not just to help clean up but to see you one last time at this old house of mine which, because of you, will forever be etched in my mind. - dBug

1. C-C (You set the fire in me) -- Tom Vek, but honestly the entire CD is cool to hoop to.
2. You take my breath away -- The Knife
3. D.A.N.C.E -- Justice
4. Sparks -- Royksopp
5. Koop Island Blues -- Koop
6. Area Codes -- Ludacris
7. Southern Hospitality -- Ludacris
8. Magdalena -- Sergio Mendez
9. Romeo -- Basement Jaxx
10. Battle Scars -- Chemical Brothers

Yea, that' s just off the top of my head.. so not all songs will seamlessly blend into one another =)

Anyhow it just reminded me if i don't use it I lose it. So dammit when are we going light it up again? I think I'm ready to dive deeply back into the hoop pain.

I love you more than life itself. You are always by my side. We have a wonderful relationship and for that, I thank you. It seems as though we never argue and for the most part, we get along extremely well. I tape you up when you are in need. You spin round my body when I am in need.

Don't get me wrong, I'm paying $5/month for a premium Tribe membership, hoping that it'll help Tribe get their shit together. However, today's unexpected 1/2 hour outage made me realize that I may be throwing money into a bottomless pit.

I hope to see you on Facebook as well as Tribe. And please spare me the 'Tribe is for the people, Facebook is evil' rants. I know, I know. But what good is a friggin' tribe that always goes down? Facebook works. Tribe doesn't (too much of the time).

Invisible Badge of Honor

2007-12-10T13:44:42Z

I liked dbug's comment in a previous conversation where he said that hooping bumps and bruises are badges of honor. But what if the pain is invisible from the outside? My f-ing back feels like someone removed my spine, twisted it into a pretzel and then put it back in my body. I'm exaggerating a little, but it's all "pulled-muscle/ need to stretch more" feeling. I don't care. I'm still hooping today. I'll just have a bloody mary for breakfast to losen up the muscles ;)

new to the pain...

2007-12-01T19:46:50Z

Hello, I think this might be the right place to ask my questions...

I've been hooping for about 3 years (but only about twice a year at festivals). That is until this year. I've now been trying to add this as a weekly (eventually daily) practice since about November. And I love it, don't get me wrong, but uh... I am starting to look like a battered woman. Is this typical as I learn to get into a flow with my hooping?
Here are my battle wounds that I have questions about...

1. Knee / leg hooping - I can hardly it so I keep trying, even on bruised knees and legs (I've been asked if I fell down the stairs.)

2. I think this is from hooping barefoot (I hope) combination with not giving equal time to my non dominant current. I have a quarter size blister on the ball of my right foot just under by big toe and a nickel size one just under my pinky toe on my left foot. I wish I took a picture last night as I cut the gross thick flaps of hanging skin off. I guess it took me by surprise cuz the skin was pretty thick. I've never had anything like that before.

So basically, is this normal, will I always look like I've been beaten by my husband.
He thinks it's funny. Now when he sees my bruises he jokes, "I dun told you twice". However, he was pretty grossed out by the bottom of the foot blister flaps.

Someone please justify that it's ok to beat my self up this way for the love of the hoop!

2007-11-29T04:25:02Z

no bruises or cuts, but i've had the flu and hooped anyway. it's not pretty. dizziness, wheezing & coughing because i was all congested. don't even get me started on the runny nose. five minutes in i had to lie down again, but i had to try, you know? i really wanted to just pass out but unconciousness would not come!

first day back at work today and i just got home. it's what happens when you're out of the office for a week with the flu. won't make it out because it'll be almost over by the time i get there on muni. i really wanna see and hang and hoop with y'all though. soon hoop pain tribe, soon. hopefully before i go to thailand for a month.

some things piss us off. fancy sissy hooping and donuts piss me off. especially when i'm told not to freak out. donut tell me not to freak out. my loyalty is as deep as the layer of icing on that freakin' donut. face it tribe-admin-man, your network has let me down. it's let us all down. i love ya but even a long-term tribester like me can get eyes for another, you know?

Tribe's uptime sucks. Where else can we go?

2007-11-11T21:24:00Z

I'm sick of Tribe's downtime. It's ridiculous that it's down so often, don't you agree? And that error message about a friggin' donut has turned from 'sorta funny i guess' to 'come on tribe admins, get your fucking shit together' for me.

There are other social sites we could consider. Any thoughts on this?

Supplies. Who's in?

2007-11-02T04:15:19Z

Who wants to go in on some supplies? I figure we can all go in on a coil or two of 3/4" 100PSI tubing from Lowe's. Connectors as well of course. And some tape from Identi-tape.com.

I'm not volunteering to pick up the tubing but I will help coordinate the purchases and possibly accompany someone to Lowe's to pick it up.

A nit-picky point to this is that I don't want to end up with a bunch of tubing in my house. Let's buy what we need, cut it up and make hoops! Let's strive for very little tubing left over so nobody has to store it. - dBug

FIRE!!

2007-11-02T04:11:20Z

I figure one sure fire way to feel some hoop pain is to play with fire. Any hoop painsters wanna help me coordinate a renegade hoop pain fire session? I know there are some choice spots in the city where others already spin and that would be fine or I'm interested in seeking out other possible locales.

I'm an avid hooper but I've only hooped with fire a handful of times. Looking to kick it up. So, who's in? You ain't afraid of a little fire, are ya?

Lost dignity. Anyone seen it?

2007-10-26T19:03:57Z

Hi. Hoop Pain tonight was so fun! If anybody runs across it, I lost my dignity tonight. I think it happened somewhere between downing my fourth shot and taking my pants off to hoop for the cheerleaders. If you see it, please return it at the next hoop pain. I won't really need it till then but I would appreciate getting it back. Thanks!

posted in HooppaiN Tribe - 18 replies

Check out this hoop.

2007-10-25T06:37:22Z

It looks like something we could use, perhaps? Affixing chains and bolts to our hoops is bound to cause some pain.

Practice. Intervals.

2007-10-25T01:12:16Z

Practice is important to our development. I feel as though hoop pain was born out of practice. Sure, the social aspect is a key component. Practice though is how we advance in our hooping skillz. Wednesday night is great for that purpose! How about Monday night or Tuesday night? Many times Kahunahula will push aside pieces of furniture like so many casual artifacts, in preparation for the night's hoop jam. Post hoop pain as we like to call it.

Just showing up for BAH is like going to church once a week. Hoop pain reminds me that life happens on a daily basis. Let's pick up our hooping so that it is more frequent than Sunday and Wednesday. Fill in the gaps and let's see where we can take this adventure. Long live Hoop Pain.

Pain on Montcalm.

2007-10-13T02:20:14Z

Thanks guys for opening your wonderful house up on Wednesday. I really liked the feel of the place. I tried El Metate today on the suggestion of one of our wonderful host and man, that was an awesome fish taco!!! The funny thing is we just finished our 9 month long job today. I never thought to walk that direction. Wich reminds me," I need to practice my backwards hooping". Also, I noticed when I got home that I did not have my water bottle(garbage).I'm really sorry that I left it in anyones car or living room.

It was great to observe so closely the great hoop trickery that hoop painers share.

decompression gracias

2007-10-10T18:43:39Z

just wanted to say thanks to all the hoop painers who threw down at decompression. love hanging and hooping with you. my favorite crew. you are all so talented and cool.

though my sore feet and back may say otherwise, i seem to have inflicted more hoop pain on others than on yours truly (some call it gifting). people need to learn to give a spinning hoop it's space;-)

and thanks to opulent temple for the non-stop kickass music. did we find the perfect spot or what...

1. my awesome crash down the hallway
2. bashed myself in the mouth (left a mark on the inside of my lip)
3. mystery bruise on my elbow
4. bruise on the top of my foot/ankle from making "pizza dough"
5. my toe sock sustained two holes (on the same toe even)

2007-07-19T23:56:18Z

Last night's hoop pain was awesome! At one point we had seven hoopers hooping in our living room at the same time. Mostly though, we hooped two at at time. Our delicious sound system pumped out the tunes which in turn caused us to rotate wildly.

Though a few people suffered a bruise here and a smashed nose there, no truly debilitating hooping injuries were sustained. We'll try harder next time.

the hoop pains i have known

2007-07-14T01:11:04Z

i seem to whack myself pretty thoroughly from time to time. the other night i whipped the hoop around my head and thwacked the bridge of my nose full force. that smarted. i still have intermittent numbness in part of my finger from bashing my hand while hooping at pride. and my left knee is still healing from that spill on the ice, where i tried some ice hooping.

when i hoop hard for long periods of time my body can feel pretty wrecked. i still don't stretch nearly enough.

but i think inflicting hoop pain on oneself is very much like dropping the hoop. as dbug and i like to say, if you ain't dropping it, you ain't doing it right. i think battle wounds are part of the deal.

at least in the hoop pain tribe.
